1. Raw water quality: The raw water quality should be considered while designing industrial water treatment facilities. The input water quality affects the design, operation, and type of treatment required.
2. Water demand: Designing the treatment capacity should be based on water demand, including the current and future demands.
3. Treatment processes: Choosing the right treatment processes is critical to meeting the water quality requirements, ensure economic operation, and reduce maintenance costs.
4. Plant location: The location of the industrial water treatment plant is important for easy access to input water sources, and for practicality such as ease of transport, security measures, and waste discharge.
5. Environmental regulations: Compliance with environmental regulations is essential while designing industrial water treatment facilities.
6. Chemical handling and safety: Chemical handling and safety procedures must be monitored to avoid accidents, injuries, and health risks.
7. Energy usage: Energy consumption should be optimized as far as possible, from design to operation to minimize energy costs, and reduce environmental impacts.
8. Water storage: Adequate water storage capacity should be included in the design of industrial water treatment facilities.
9. Instrumentation and monitoring: Monitoring equipment should be installed to track various parameters such as flow rate, pressure, pH, temperature, and chemical usage.
10. Maintenance: Regular maintenance of industrial water treatment facilities is essential to ensure the equipment's longevity and functionality.
